May your home rise up to meet you
Hi Darling-Street Dwellers, NOTE: I should warn you that this post is very off-topic, but I thought I should fill you in on where life is pulling me at the moment. Besides washing paint out of my hair, my other great passion in life is performing! Ultimately that’s what I moved to New York to […]

In the past few years, it has become popular to give party guests a little pressie to take home with them. A “favour” is how they are better known. Luckily for me I love a DIY project, so to me, favours = NEW PROJECT! I wrote a little about making a memo board for my […]

I have a confession to make. Last Christmas I earned the name Humbug. Some friends of mine even forced me to write it in the snow on Christmas Eve when I was dragged outside for a snowball fight in my PJ’s. (See evidence below). This year, a little elf must have sprinkled some magic dust […]

Get ready to turn green with envy. This past weekend, we stayed here: Our friend Trey owns this farm house in Pennsylvania and it is just exquisite! It used to be a Mill House until the 1950s when it was converted into a residence. Trey has owned it for over 20 years and has worked […]
